CHURCHES TIKE
OP DEFENSEDF
Several Pastors Expected to Speak
of Agitation Against Vice
War Methods Sunday.
Indications that the church*** of At
lanta intend to take a hand in the
controversy started by the criticism
which Colonel Frederic J. Paxon,
Forrest Adair and scores of other
business men have directed against
the bulletins and propaganda of the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment is contained In the announce
ment Friday morning that Dr. Dun-
Om • • pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, and one of the
city’s leading ministers, will devote
his Sunday evening sermon to a dis-
- ussion of the agitation
Dr. Ogden announced Friday that
his subject will be "Light or Dark
ness.’’ and voiced his intention of
speaking very plainly In reference to
local conditions.
It is understood that he will vig
orously defend the bulletins as throw -
ing the light of knowledge on evils
that »an he cured only by the educa
tion of the masses, and that he will
uphold the methods of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement in no
uncertain terms Dr. Ogden stated
Friday that the opponents of the bul
letins are especially urged to attend
the services.
Eagan Member of Hit Church.
John J. Kagan, the moving spirit
1n the .Men and Religion Forward
Movement, is superintendent of the
Sunday School and an influential
member ‘of Dr. Ogden’s church.
Though Dr. Ogden is the first At
lanta minister to announce his inten
tion of making the controversy the
subject of a sermon, it is understood
that half a dozen others will refer to
the agitation in their Sunday dis
courses. All of these, it is known,
will defend the bulletins and the
methods of the Men and Religion
Movement and will plead for a ces
sation of the agitation against them
on the ground that the bulletins are
tioing Atlanta a great deal of good in
that they are shedding light in the
dark places and are a part of a cam
paign of education that is intended to
benefit the city morally.
It is expected that the sermons of
S -inlay will be followed by official in-
-*ni*nt of the Men and Religion
f ivement when :he Evangelical Min-
■ lei's’ Association meets Monday

"Men and Religion” to Meet.
It also is regarded as practically
• ertain that the agitation will be the
subject of considerable discussion at
i he Monday meeting of the Men and
Religion Movement. Several of the
member* brought up the subject of
the controversy last Monday, but n
statement of what transpired was re
fused by the leaders of the move
ment.
Leaders in the opposition claim
that at least two of the members are
surprise! that there are any reputa
ble citizens of Atlanta against the
issuance of the bulletins, and that
they are in favor of suspending their
publication until some less objection
able method of work can be arranged.
This, however, is denied by the
members of the committee and by
the carters of the movement, who de-
« !are that the bulletins are in full ac
cord with the ideas of all the mem
bers of the committee

"Home of the farmers have bom
lulled into a feeling of complacency
from the fact that the cotton produc
tion of Texas has increased in spite
of the boll weevil, hut I want to warn
them that they are making a mistake
Oi not adopting every means to tight
the pest.
“Texas has suffered great losses
through the boll weevil, but they have
been more than made up by the In
creased acreage in the western part
>f the Stete, where the weather has
been colder and drier than in other
sections of the cotton belt, conditions
which are not at all favorable for the
weevil.
Warning to Farmers.
"So here i» my advice to the Geor
gia farmer: Raise early cotton; keep
in touch with your State Entomolo
gist, who constantly is making exper-
. irnrnis on his own account and who
is co-operating with the Government
in the war on the boll weevil, and
don't relax for a moment your vigi
lance under the impression that the
weevil is not a dangerous enemy.”

It is a pathetic mistake to accept drugs or alcoholic
mixtures when nature craves nourishment to repair
the wasted body and restore the vigor of health.
For forty years the best physicians have relied on
the wholesome predigested nourishment in SCO I TS
EMULSION which is totally free from alcohol or opiates.
Scott’s Emulsion sharpens the appetite—renews
blood-—nourishes nerves—strengthens bones and
restores the courage of health to make life bright.
Sooti's Emulsion sets in action
the very forces that promote
health. Its parity, ^ 1
